So I spoke to my fiance earlier and we decided to go out this weekend, etc... I was on my facebook though a few minutes ago and I decided to look at his page and it says single. Why? I know he isn't cheating and he updated it two weeks ago....

Hello there today bluehibiscus, Let's see. I am a facebook user. But I am not so into it and I dont even announce if I am married, single or divorced. Maybe he did not see this as an important aspect of facebook? Can it be that he overlooked it there? Maybe previously he did not want to change his profile due to his family objecting. Now, he totally forgotten? You've got to ask him this or you'll go bonkers. Send him a message on Facebook!

I do not see a problem with him saying that he is single, because until the day you get married he is single. I lived with my husband for 33 years, before we got married, and until the day i said i do 4 years ago i was a single lady.

Bloody hell 33 years! how did u manage to live with him for 33 years before marriage? you most definitely have a story to tell But you're though.. before I do you are considered single.. so your bf is not committing a crime in my book..

Yea 33 years, 8 children and 11 grand children. number 12 is on its way she will be here in January. We did not need a piece of paper to keep us together, or to make us happy. 4 years ago all the kids showed up all at the same time, for a visit, and one of my daughters was questioning why we never got legally married, and my husband got down on his knees and asked me to marry him. We put it together in about 4 days, and it was beautiful, and all our kids and grand-kids were a part of it.

Hello friend, If you really know the guy well which I assume you do then there's no need to worry. There are times when we have our family members on social networking sites and we don't want to go public about our relationship status. Hence, we write "single". There can be other ways to look at it as well but I am an optimist and I would always see the brighter side of things. Cheers!

My dear lady, please don't read too much into it. Even though I am a man, I won't defend him. My response more about the psyche of a young man. Get to know that and you will have a relationship for keeps. So now your relationship is in "spoken for" or "committed" stage. I wonder whether an appropriate status exists for such a stage in the facebook. I wonder whether he is as forgetful and insensitive as I am. It's a 'man' thing! We men need an occasional nudge to behave, believe me! It can range from a poke in the ribs with the elbow to a knock on the head. Use this opportunity to hone your domination skills. It's the woman 'thing'. We the men are suckers for it. Ask him about this in a sweet way. Jibe! Include every thing a sweet woman would do. Mills and Boon paperbacks are a good guide! I am sure he will fall in line. You have a wonderful relationship on your hands. Don't worry your self too mush. Happy Weekend!

He hasn't completely cheated on you but he is open to it. He is being passive/agressive at this point. He wants to see what will happen with facebook. Your relationship is not beyond saving. You need to COMMUNICATE and find out what is lacking. Is it intimacy, communication, together time, having things gotten monotonous? Any girl can get a man, but only a woman can keep one.

well when reality speaks for itself you don't have to worry about he not changing his status online. You and your family know that you two are getting married. If you are so insecure and afraid then you may just ask him casually if he is ashamed of announcing that he is in a relationship with you.:)
